Bug Description

[Impact]

When there is an error with the apt proxy the headers are not returned which makes debugging hard.

[Test Case]

This was tested on xenial when the release lacked the InRelease file by-hash.

This can be verified manually as follows:

* Start the proxy via

./magic-proxy -t `python -c "import time; print(int(time.time() - 300))"`

* In an empty directory do

mkdir -p ubuntu/dists/xenial/by-hash/SHA256
touch ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease
python3 -m http.server

* In a separate terminal telnet to port 8080 and paste

GET /ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease HTTP/1.1
HOST: localhost:8000

followed by an empty line. Without the patch, the response will be the string "No InRelease file found for given mirror, suite and timestamp".

With the patch applied, the response will start with a HTTP status line "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found" and a set of HTTP headers.

[Regression Potential]

Low. This was tested on xenial when the release lacked the InRelease file by-hash. Also, this code is not yet in use.
